HARNESS-ROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 4d4,3'70, dated January 6, 1891.

Application filed July 18, 1890.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST F. PFLUEGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Harness-Rosettes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a front view showing the coiled wire. Fig. 2 is a crosssection. Fig. 3 is a view of the outer shell.

This invention relates to certain improve ments in rosettes for harness; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as will hereinafter appear.

In the drawings, A refers to the shell or body of the rosette, which-is spun up from a continuous piece of wire a by coiling the same into a substantially concavo-convex shape, the central terminal portion being looped into an eye a and then caused to take the form of a rectangular or frame-like shank a the wire finally passing through said eye.

The body or shell A is dipped into molten or liquid lead or solder, which fills up the in terspaces of the wire coils, producing a solid unbroken surface, thus embodying strength and lightness and cheapness.

In order to render the shell or structure A more attractive a second similar shell or cap A is spun up over or upon it and treated to a like coat-ing of molten or liquid lead or Serial No. 359,178. (No model.)

solder, securing it to the aforesaid shell or body.

The outer or secondary shell or cap A may or may not be used, and in its stead may be substituted a coveringof velvet,plush,leather, or some other ornamental or decorating material, or in lieu thereof may be provided a cap of suitable material having atlixed in its center a plume, preferably of horse-hair.

Having described this invention, what I claim, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. The rosette having a concavo-convex shell or body portion constructed or spun up from a continuous piece of coiled wire, the interspaces of its coils being filled in with molten or liquid lead or solder, said wire being looped at its central terminal portion into an eye and then caused to assume a framelike or rectangular shank, the wire finally passing through said eye, substantially as set forth.

2. The rosette comprising the concavo-convex coiled wire shell or body coated with solder or lead, and the secondary shell or cap spun upon the aforesaid shell or body and coated with lead or solder, securing it to the latter, the wire of the main shell or body being looped into an eye and then caused to take the form of a frame-like or rectangular shank, the wire tin ally passing through said eye, substantially as stated.

In testimon y whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ERNEST F. PFLUEGER.
